codingpanic··on Sophon PFG-1: a monolithic-3D AI ASIC with 330 GB of on-die DRAM and no HBM
I've been wondering how long before RAM is fabbed on die to get around supply issues. This is one of the first I've read of so far. How long before Apple releases a CPU with ram on die?
codingpanic··on RIAA Sues Suno AI Music Generator [pdf]
This is a thing? Would changing your DNS server fix this issue? Can't see how they would be able to inject javascript over HTTPS sites.
codingpanic··on Daylight Computer – New 60fps e-paper tablet
Love that you are calling a tablet what it really is: a computer.

Now for a crazy question: does the Daylight Computer support an external full color display via a usb-c dock? Color when you need it… epaper when you don’t.

codingpanic··on macOS Sonoma Boot Failures
We have a fleet of several hundred Macs, most are M1/2 at this point. I heard reports of several Macs coming in for support that booted to a black screen after Sonoma's .0 landed. So many that the JAMF team blocked Sonoma until the .1 landed.

Definitely shoddy QA on Apple's part. Also, your sample size is too small. Everyone works differently and it takes a certain set of settings/workflows to trigger this compatibility issue.

codingpanic··on Here comes Windows 12 – the author is a 14-year-old Chinese boy
Microsoft should give these kids jobs... impressive visual work here.
codingpanic··on Ask HN: Am I being unreasonable saying no to Work MFA on personal phone?
Does your employer offer a cell phone stipend program? Many times, employers will pay to "use" a portion of your cell plan, basically allowing them to require apps like MFA on personal devices. (or require on call access to employees)
codingpanic··on Toyota EV mimics manual transmission with feel of gear sticks, roaring engine
Why would you want this? One of the thing I love about EVs are the single speed transmissions. The drive is smooth and lack of noise peaceful. Why would you want shift-jerk and emulated RPM variations in a technology that doesn't need it?
codingpanic··on macOS vulnerability: Total physical access opened when screen sharing is on
What you are looking for is "Curtain Mode."

Some VNC clients support this feature. ARD is one, Screens is another I'm familiar with.

Curtain mode keeps the remote system's display and keyboard locked and uncontrollable, and thus secured.

codingpanic··on I ported the Firefox Archive.today extension to Safari
New build has been approved and the extension is now in France.
codingpanic··on I ported the Firefox Archive.today extension to Safari
This will no longer be needed with the next release, awaiting app review approval.
codingpanic··on I ported the Firefox Archive.today extension to Safari
The issue is that if you do not set permissions in the manifest, clicking allow in the safari UI would only return a blank URI, "". The original extension in this case would also just return an error.

I've modified the manifest so that it is asking Safari for wider permissions, so that when the permission is granted by the user, the proper URL is returned.

codingpanic··on I ported the Firefox Archive.today extension to Safari
Will do, thanks for the advice!
codingpanic··on I ported the Firefox Archive.today extension to Safari
New build submitted that will fix this issue.
codingpanic··on I ported the Firefox Archive.today extension to Safari
Issue fixed, and a new build has been submitted
codingpanic··on I ported the Firefox Archive.today extension to Safari
New build submitted.
codingpanic··on I ported the Firefox Archive.today extension to Safari
Thanks for the feedback, I'll work on fixing this. Alternatively, you can also open an issue here: https://github.com/gnormandin/Archive-Page/issues
codingpanic··on I ported the Firefox Archive.today extension to Safari
The extension is open source, I'm open to new ideas on how to improve this further. The current Edge/Firefox extensions just error out, and this was not acceptable for this version of the extension per the AppStore rules.

You can make any suggestions here: https://github.com/gnormandin/Archive-Page/issues

codingpanic··on I ported the Firefox Archive.today extension to Safari
Apple has some SSL export restrictions I've yet to successfully navigate. Will have this fixed in the next version.
codingpanic··on I ported the Firefox Archive.today extension to Safari
This should be the expected behavior when pressing the button on a new Safari tab. Otherwise, should redirect to the URL your current open tab is displaying.
codingpanic··on I ported the Firefox Archive.today extension to Safari
Yeah, there should be two redirects. The first is searching for the URL you entered, the second should either newly cache the page, or load the cached page. Same behavior as firefox.

If this is not what you are seeing, please open an issue on the github at: https://github.com/gnormandin/Archive-Page/issues

So I can keep track of issues encountered.

Thanks!

codingpanic··on I ported the Firefox Archive.today extension to Safari
Finally published my first anything on the Apple AppStore by porting the Archive.Today extension to Safari. Works on iPad, iPhone, and Mac.

I was tired of copying and pasting when I wanted to use the Archive service on HN articles, so here you go!

codingpanic··on Block: Inflated user metrics and “frictionless” fraud facilitation
Weird, I use cashapp as my daily debit card. Figure it reduces overall risk by only having a set amount available for use at any time.

If I need to spend more? I move it to cash app, then spend it.

My main checking and savings accounts do not even have cards that are active. Its all cash app all the time.

Not saying they aren't doing anything wrong, just that there are plenty of legitimate uses for the service.

codingpanic··on Raspberry Pi 5 Not Launching Until After 2023
As far as buying cheap government computers goes... price is only one factor here. Formfactor and power use are huge wins with ARM SBCs.
codingpanic··on Raspberry Pi 5 Not Launching Until After 2023
While I agree with andrewstuart, there are not many other boards with the community, developer support, and ecosystem backing that Rpi has. Unfortunately, they really put the work in early to make sure they were positioned well in the ARM SBC space. (The fact that you can run some workstation loads with 4 or 8GB of ram on Pi is a bonus)

I'm hoping with Risc-V boards coming out, that maybe the cycle can start new and someone else can build a similar community, but actually value them.

codingpanic··on X-Plane 12 Early Access
I would have thought the second email would have stated "Xplane 11 key"?

Both say 12.

codingpanic··on X-Plane 12 Early Access
Excellent! Cant wait to see what the performance is on M1 Max.

Just purchased and they sent me two keys... opened a ticket to let them know.

codingpanic··on Ask HN: What are you switching to from G Suite legacy free tier?
I've switched my main domain to iCloud, once they announced custom domains. It "just works" with the Apple devices I usually use for main domain stuff. If I do end up leaving Apple, this will likely get moved to another service.

I do have a few other domains I use for various tasks and testing, I've moved those to the free Zoho Tier for now. I'll keep an eye out if anything else comes up thats worth looking at. These work well with any device, and not just Apple ones.

codingpanic··on Ransomware Group Threatens to Leak “Nvidia's Most Closely Guarded” Secrets
Nouveau would likely want to remain a "cleanroom" project, with most of the functionality developed through good ol fashioned reverse-engineering. Incorporating anything from the leaked documentation would likely throw the project in legal jeopardy.
codingpanic··on SSH into private machines from anywhere using Cloudflare Tunnel
Thanks for the clarification! Might want to educate your support staff a bit more so they can provide the same clarification.

This was my assumption as well given the tutorials and such available on your site. I was confused though and so reached out for clarification.

codingpanic··on SSH into private machines from anywhere using Cloudflare Tunnel
I'm under the impression that this is against CloudFlare's ToS, otherwise I'd probably be doing it myself.

See section 2.8 "Limitation on Serving Non-HTML Content." of their subscriber agreement:

use of the Services for serving video or a disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other non-HTML content is prohibited, unless purchased separately as part of a Paid Service or expressly allowed under our Supplemental Terms for a specific Service.

Last I checked, SSH is non-html content. I even opened a support ticket with their support, specifically asking about SSH and other traffic and this is what I received: So if no matter what service you use, Once you breach this rule it will be applied.

EDIT: Looks like the CloudFlare CTO has clarified things below that this usage does not in fact violate the ToS.
